Kublai Khan

Plot Core
The drama is divided into four major chapters that reconstruct historical trajectories:

1. Youth Growth (1225-1227): Under the guidance of Genghis Khan (played by Basen), young Kublai Khan (played by Su Riya) develops the idea of "great unity" during battles, laying the groundwork for governing Han territories with Han laws.

• Years in Exile (1232-1259): After the early death of his father, Kublai's mother Sorghaghtani (played by Nuomin Dalai) nurtures him with the concept of "benevolent governance." He gathers Han strategists in the Jinliang River shogunate and gradually expands his influence.
• The Great Unification (1260-1271): Kublai defeats Ariq Böke (played by Bao Rigele) to seize the throne, adopts Liu Bingzhong's (played by Liu Zhibing) recommendations to implement Han law, and relocates the capital to Yanjing, paving the way for the unification of China.
• The Great Rule (1271-1293): After declaring himself emperor, Kublai conquers the Southern Song dynasty, establishes a provincial system, opens trade routes, and merges Mongolian and Han cultures, ultimately becoming the first minority ruler of the Central Plains.

Production and Historical Accuracy

• Historical Restoration: The production team researched the sites of the Yuan dynasty's Shangdu and Dadu, recreating details like the "Ten Thousand Household Rocket Trials" and "Semu Merchants" with costumes and props that blend Mongolian and Han styles.
• Character Depth: Su Riya portrays Kublai Khan’s transformation from "prince of the steppes" to "confucian emperor" throughout his life, while Nuomin Dalai showcases Sorghaghtani's dual nature as the "Mother of Four Emperors," embodying both political acumen and compassion.

Market Positioning
As a major historical drama for the Yuanma APP, "Kublai Khan" gained attention even before its premiere. The trailer featuring the "Battle of Kaiping," showcasing a cavalry charge, achieved over ten million views in a single day, being hailed as "the most hardcore Mongolian historical drama since Genghis Khan."
